​I’m a little late for posting a blog as December is the busiest time of year for my second job as a private party manager at the leading Valet company in Arizona and a proud sponsor of Swim 4 Vets, American Valet. OK, shameless plug for them but Mike, the owner, has been great to me.

So 2016 is going to be a very big year for Swim 4 Vets. For starters, I sent in a check for $1,000 to the navigation boat to hold my swim date. BIG thanks to John Pittman, captain of Outrider, for holding my date while people generously donated to my go fund me. So the official date of my swim is…drum roll…….July 9th, 2016. So while I am training my little heart out I humbly ask all my followers and anyone who actually reads my blog to please #repost, #share and ask people to #donate as well as donating yourself.

If you have any questions for me about my swim or the two charities that I have chosen then please contact me as I would love to hear from you.

As I have stated before, Swim 4 Vets DOES NOT handle any of the money. 100% of your donation goes to the charity that you are donating to and to answer one question that has been asked of me, ‘what does Swim 4 Vets get out of this?’ The joy and honor of being able to help our veterans and to say thank you for their sacrifice and service to our country.
